"Auntie, I won't beat around the bush. Who gives you the right to hurt my wife?"
Despite the rage he was feeling inside, Tristan tried his best to speak in a way that it won't sound disrespectful towards Mrs. Miller.
He was calm, not even raising his voice but his words were firm and his eyes were cold.
Mr. Miller had no idea about what happened between his wife and Tristan's wife so he just stood there, darting his gaze back and forth between Tristan and his wife. He was confused.
Mrs. Miller, on the other hand, squinted her eyes at Tristan upon hearing that.
"What are you talking about?" She feigned ignorance of what happened.
She had no plan of admitting it. Besides, there was no witness. Only the two of them were present at that ti. She would deny it. She was confident that others would listen to her, not to a girl who beca part of this family just recently.
"You hit my wife. You slapped her." Tristan answered her, a deep frown appeared on his forehead.
Mrs. Miller let out a soft giggle, still pretending to be innocent.
"Tristan… Are you accusing ? Who told you that? Your wife? Do you believe her? What if she's just making up so stories to slander ?" Mrs. Miller sneered at him. She took a glance at Zhen-Zhen who was standing at the back of Tristan.
Mr. Miller butted in, "Tristan, are you searching for trouble? Why are you accusing my wife that she hurt your wife? Do you have any proof?"
Tristan clenched his fists when he heard that. They were thinking that Zhen-Zhen made up so lies? Zhen-Zhen didn't even want to tell him the truth because she didn't want to start a conflict with the Miller Family.
What he just wanted was for Mrs. Miller to apologize to Zhen-Zhen, but she was denying it.
"Auntie, I saw you co out of the comfort room before my wife. You and Lillie were the only people inside. When my wife went out, her face was already swollen. There was a slap mark on her face." Tristan insisted, confronting Mrs. Miller.
Zhen-Zhen just looked down while biting her lower lip. Mrs. Miller was glaring at her.
"Yes, we are the only people inside. You saw leave. But it didn't an I was the one who slapped her. What if she did it by herself." Mrs. Miller kept on denying it.
Hannah and Andrew who were also setting up their tent nearby noticed Tristan and Zhen-Zhen together with Hannah's parents.
They looked like they were having a serious conversation right now by just observing their facial expressions. Tristan's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot.
The couple beca curious about what they were talking about so they decided to approach and join them.
Tristan continued confronting them, especially Mrs. Miller.
"I already told you before that leave my wife alone. If you have to bla soone for what happened in Oceaniz City, then that soone should be , not her!" Tristan slightly raised his voice.
He couldn't believe that they were accusing Zhen-Zhen of hurting herself to slander Mrs. Miller. Zhen-Zhen didn't even ntion her na. Tristan was the one who figured out that she was the one who hurt Zhen-Zhen.
"I am the one to bla for everything. You should have hit , instead of her!" Tristan said through his gritted teeth.
Zhen-Zhen could feel Tristan's anger so she moved closer to him, holding his arm. She wanted him to calm down.
Hannah and Andrew heard Tristan's last statent. The two of them looked at him confusedly.
"Brother? What's happening here?" It was Andrew who asked Tristan.
Tristan shifted his gaze from Mrs. Miller to Andrew and Hannah. Tristan narrowed his eyes upon seeing them.
"I thought we already fixed everything?! Lillie and I had already apologized to you and Hannah. Why is it you didn't explain it to Hannah's parents??! Everything was just a misunderstanding! I thought you already understood it!" Tristan vented out his frustration to Andrew and Hannah.
Both Hannah and Andrew were taken aback by Tristan's reaction. He was really mad right now. But why? That's their question running on their mind.
"Tristan… what is this all about?" Hannah felt like crying upon eting Tristan's cold and sharp gaze directed at her and Andrew.
"Why are you blaming Andrew and our daughter, now? In the first place, you and your wife were the ones who tried to ss things up for Andrew and Hannah!" Mrs. Miller was triggered by Tristan's action towards Hannah and Andrew.
"Mom! Calm down!" Hannah imdiately approached her mother, asking her to stop.
"Hubby, I'm just fine. Please let's just leave." Zhen-Zhen also said with her pleading look.
"No. Because I'm not fine with it." Tristan stubbornly said, not planning to leave.
Then Tristan faced the Miller Family once again including Andrew.
"I made a mistake. We apologized to both of you. If it's not yet enough, then co to . You can hit all you want, slap on my face, punch hard! But don't you ever lay a hand against my wife. You don't have the right to hurt her or hit her! She's innocent. She didn't deserve this kind of treatnt."
Andrew frowned, "What do you an by that?"
Tristan sneered at him, "Your mother-in-law slapped my wife. She hit her."
Andrew and Hannah didn't expect to hear that. So this was the reason why Tristan was mad, making a scene here.
"You believe her words but her words alone could not prove that I did that. What if your wife is lying to you? Why are you still insisting that I did it?! Don't accuse , young man. I'm not your mother-in-law, but I am still an elder. Please show so respect!" Mrs. Miller still had the guts to put on her brave front as if she didn't do sothing wrong.
"Cough! Cough! What's going on here? What is this commotion all about?" A deep voice of an elder man was heard.
